Summary
  • Sappo: John has a plan that will teach Myrtle a lesson. He checks with a man who tells him the dummy head is all set and looks just like him. John comes home late, after two o'clock and Myrtle is waiting with her rolling pin. She throws the pin at him, knocking the dummy head off. Myrtle faints as John's head peeks out from his coat.
  • Thimble Theatre: Nobody wants to order soda at Castor and Ham's bar. They want drinks with chemicals in them. Ham finally hits a customer over the head with a strawberry soda. The man goes back to his friends dazed. They think he ordered a drink that caused that. They all come in and order strawberry soda but after drinking sixteen cases they feel nothing. They beat up Ham and Castor.
